"OLD AGE"_ _ Composed by Nwosu Olisaemeka Evans Paschal

OLD AGE

When he hopped up and down on her

Speedily and then slowly

It ran from him into her

With this moment of ecstasy for him

It ran to meet an egg in her


For days her belly bulged bigger and bigger

The ninth month was a day of joy

You came out crying

Not because of pain

Your cry gave her joy


She carried you with her everywhere she goes

At first you crawled

You sat and

You stood

She fed you from herself

And then by herself

You were always with her


She starts leaving you

You cry for her to come back

When you see her you rejoice

You make castles in the sand

You think that you and they

Will live in it forever

You were always with them


You start feeling butterflies

Within you when you see her

If you were fair

Your face turns red

Whenever she touches you


You hug her tightly

Just to feel her warmth

Her mouth tastes crispy

Just like strawberry

You will like to lick them

Till they are finished


You took her to the altar

The two beautiful bulge on her chest

Makes you mad

They become firm

With their eyes gazing boldly at you


Sometimes you lick their eyes

Sometimes you bite them

She didn’t complain instead

She pleaded for more of it

You were always with her


Just like your parents

You now have lovely birds

Playing around you

They look into your eyes for support

They are always around you

You were always with them


And then she stops breathing

Her eyes closed right inside your arms

Just like you the birds have grown

Some use Mohammed and virgins as alibi

Some use cattle’s safety

Some simple selfishness and greed

Some seek for acceptance and fulfillment


When this canoe sinks

It goes down with us

If only we can reason together

We will even own the ocean
